Standard arthroscopy has been the gold standard for treatment of meniscus tears since the 1980's. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes of using the smaller diameter Nanoscope for partial menisectomy. The authors hypothesize that the Nanoscopic partial menisectomy patients will have less pain and return function faster than standard arthroscopy.
